Investigation of the Outer Regions of the Galactic Halo
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 April 2016
Extract
The aim of this study is to investigate the spheroidal halo around our Galaxy, that is, the outer extentions of the central bulge. The kinematics and variations in metal abundance in the halo are important astrophysical parameters for any theory which models the formation and evolution of our galaxy. Attempts to determine these parameters have so far used a particular class of stars which can be easily identified as members of the halo.
